Vending Machine - drink

Put coins into the vending machine and get drink. In some country, it's pretty ordinary, and in some country, not. I used to live in some country in Europe, travel arouond the world, of course I have used vending machine, but not as much as in Japan. About 2,260,000 machines are placed in Japan. Never having trouble in finding dirinks in Japan.

Price of the drinks are normally 120yen($1.2)-150($1.5), sometimes cheaper. You can choose from about 25 different drinks. In the winter season, you can get hot drinks too.

Vending machine is "Jidouhanbaiki" in Japanese, and it means "Automatic Selling Machine". But this is too long to say. We normally say "Jihan".
Today's kanji is Coin and Drink.

Japanese Seasonal Beer - Fuyu Monogatari

Slot machine cops

In Japan, cool web site has been released yesterday. This web site is called slot cop.

http://pachideka.com/

This is a slot machine with photo of a wanted person on the reel. This idea seems sick one way, but other way, I think it's very helpful to arresting criminals, this game can hold more attention than wanted poster on the street.

I never know how casualties feel, but I beleave there is something good for them in this idea.

In Japan, there is a lot of critical comments and agreements. But opinions of mass media in Japan is positive. What do you think about this idea, if this service is released in your coutry?

Today's kanji is Police man and Cop. Police man is formal and Cop is a little casual expression. In Japanese, Police man is "Keiji", and Cop is "Deka".If you want to have your own kanji name use NinjaNameDatabase!
